Not that I'm aware of. Why would you want to test AFTER the self-leveler is installed? All testing should be done BEFORE any topping, skimcoat or self-leveler is installed because moisture mitigation systems should be installed directly over ther affected concrete. There are a couple of MM products that claim they can be installed over self-levelers but I'm not so sure that's a good thing. And until I see it for myself, I simply don't believe it.

I have a job that has structural plank with a 3" cement based topping over it, can RH testing be performed to verify the moisture content of the topping? I have attached the mix specifications with page 1 being the topping over the plank.

This is somewhat unusual. I, for one have never had to test such a "combined" surface. I would recommend checking with the flooring or coating manufacturer first since in the end, they are the ones who will hold the general or flooring contractor responsible in the event of a moisture problem. Testing recommendations should come from them in writing.

Is the topping poured directly on the concrete or is there a barrier between the two?

You will have the moisture in the topping and the moisture in the precast. If the precast was clean and unsealed, I'd consider it part of the whole system as far as moisture goes.

As a direct answer to your question though, yes you can test the topping layer using Rapid RH probes. If the precast was sealed or the topping was poured on a waterproof membrane I'd drill 20% of the depth of the topping layer.

Do not drill into the precast plank without locating the tensioning cables.
